Wow, it's been almost a month since I have last
posted! There has been so much that has happened, and well so much more
in the works. Have you ever had a vision from God but only received bits
and pieces wondering how it all fits together? This past week, I found
the missing pieces to that puzzle. I tell you what; Good things come to
those who wait upon the Lord. I'm not yet at liberty to share all that is
going on and about to transpire, but God is good!!!
Ok so many of you are probably wondering WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!! For those
of you that missed the previous posts, I work part time for a ministry based
out of Charlotte, NC
called His Call Ministries. I'm their IT Director and almost anything
else they need at the time. Right now, the ministry is in the growing
phase and I have sat there and watched God provide time and time again as he
has stretched us. We did an event at the Hampton
Convention Center back on May
5-6th. We were originally going to charge for registration for this
event, but God told us to do it for free. Now when God tells you to do it
for free, you do it. This doesn't mean you don't fight your flesh because
you know how much it's going to cost to put on the event. It took a great
deal of faith for us to step out and do what God told us to do, but as soon as
we did we had 50% of our budget met by two individuals. If that wasn't a
faith builder, we received 200 registrations the first weekend we announced we
were doing the event for free. All in all, it was a most excellent
weekend as we watched God move marvelously.
There were numerous reports of healings and deliverances. I sat there and watched one lady who couldn't
walk without much help and with assistance of crutches get out of a wheelchair
and walk again by herself. God told us we weren't supposed to take up an
offering to meet the budget, rather take up a redemption offering. What
is this? God was specific and said to have the people sow money that they
would spend on their habit that they were trying to be set free and delivered
from into the offering and see what He would do in the people’s lives. Last week while I was in the office working,
we received an e-mail from a lady who has battled bulimia for years. She
put money in the offering for her drinking, but failed to do so for her
bulimia. God kept dealing with her the
days after the conference. So she sent
in letter to God with her check attached labeled her food money (which we got
right before we got the e-mail). I am
paraphrasing this a lot as it was extremely lengthy, but in her e-mail she explained
how she was set free from her bulimia.
She no longer has the urge to purge.
For her there were a few things that would bring on this need to
purge. After she was obedient to God,
she now can do those things without feeling like she needes to purge. God has given her he self control that she
needed to overcome this once and for all.
The miracles go on and on, as we still receive reports as to what God is
still doing in the lives of the people that came to the event. We didn't take in enough money to cover the
events total cost, but we know that we did what God told us to do and that is
enough for us. We have two more events scheduled for August 4-5th
in Charlotte, NC
and November 9-10th (tentatively in Cleveland,
TN).
This is just a small glimpse as to what he is doing in the
ministry. I am so excited as we look
forward at the many things God has called us to do. It’s a bit scary, but so worth the
adventure.
. The rest of the people there are all from Campus Choir (either currently or at some point in the past including the founders of HCM). The girl in the white is Ashlie, she is going to be heading up the Publishing side of the ministry. Her sister Melissa who is behind her to the right w/the short curly hair, as of Monday will be working with us in the office as well.
Needless to say this weekend I’ll be down there again but
this time mostly for pleasure. I’ll be
going to a concert on Saturday night and then hanging for the Memorial Day
weekend.
